Abstract

The invention relates to enantiomerically pure bisphosphines of the general formula (I) ##STR1## where R is as defined in the description,
a process for their preparation and their use in metal complexes as catalysts for asymmetric reactions, in particular asymmetric hydrogenations.

Description

This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/664,073, filed Jun. 13, 1996, U.S. Pat. No. 5,710,339.
The invention relates to new enantiomerically pure bisphosphines, a process for their preparation and their use in metal complexes as catalysts for asymmetric reactions, in particular asymmetric hydrogenations.
It is already known that complexes of certain bisphosphines with metals of group VIII of the Periodic Table can be used for asymmetric hydrogenations and enantioselective hydrogen shifts (cf. R. Schmid et al. Helv. Chim. Acta, 74, 370 (1991)).
EP A 104 375 claims a bisphosphine which is distinguished from the phosphines of the invention by it having a fluorine atom in place of the chlorine atom. However, it was to be assumed from these known fluorine compounds that they would, owing to the high electronegativity of the fluorine, have a similarly poor reactivity as BIFUP, which is provided with electronegative substituents (K. Achiwa Synlett, 1991, 827). It is stated there on page 828 (see also Table 1) that the ligand gives only poor conversion, owing to the electronegative groups. The stereoselectivity is also worse; i.e. the proportion of the minor component rose from <0.5%, which is achieved by other bisphosphines known hitherto, to 2.5% (=95% e.e.).
The ligand of the invention now has the halogen chlorine in this position in place of the halogen fluorine and shows, e.g. in the form of Ru complexes in the hydrogenation of methyl acetoacetate, very good selectivities of>99% e.e., which was not to be expected in view of the above prejudice.
Furthermore, for example, the ligands of the invention are able, in the form of their ruthenium complexes, to catalyze the hydrogenation of 2-(3-benzylphenyl)-propenoic acid to be the corresponding propanoic acid (=S-ketoprofen derivative) with high selectivity.
DE 4 330 730 A1 has already described ligands which give a selectivity of 88% e.e. in the hydrogenation of the above propenoic acid derivatives. However, the ligands used there give only poor enantiomer purities when resolved into the enantiomers by crystallization, which is why, as described in the above patent, the complicated racemate resolution by chromatography is advised for obtaining chiral phases. In contrast, the ligands of the invention can easily be resolved into the enantiomers by crystallization.
The invention provides enantiomerically pure bisphosphines of the general formula (I) ##STR2## where R in each case represents a phenyl group which in turn can be substituted by from 1 to 3 substituents from the group OR1, R1, nitro, NH2, NHR1 or NR1 2, where R1 is an alkyl group having up to 6, preferably up to 4, carbon atoms, or
R is an alkyl group having up to 7, preferably up to 4, carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl group having from 3 to 7, preferably 5 or 6, carbon atoms.
Particular preference is given to enantiomerically pure bisphosphines of the general formula (I) in which R is phenyl.
The bisphosphines of the general formula (I) can be prepared by
a) reacting 5-Br-2-Cl-anisole with phosphorus oxychlorides of the general formula (II) ##STR3## where R is as defined above,
by customary methods after a selective monometallation of bromo-chloro-anisole, preferably by means of a Grignard reaction, to give compounds of the general formula (III) ##STR4## where R is as defined above,
and metallating this in the 6-position by ortho-metallation methods, preferably using lithium amide, and subsequently reacting it with iodine to give compounds of the general formula (IV) ##STR5## where R is as defined above,
and subsequently dimerizing this by customary methods to give racemic compounds of the general formula (V) ##STR6## where R is as defined above,
and resolving these phosphine oxides into their enantiomers by crystallization with enantiomerically pure monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acids and reducing the resolved enantiomers to give compounds of the formula (I), or
b) by alternatively preparing compounds of the general formula (III) by metallating 5-Br-2-Cl-anisole, e.g. via the mono-Grignard reagent, then reacting it with phosphine chlorides of the general formula (VI) ##STR7## where R is as defined above,
and subsequently oxidizing the product by customary methods.
The novel bisphosphines of the formula (I) form complexes with transition metals such as metals of group VIII, in particular ruthenium, rhodium and iridium, which can be used as catalysts in asymmetric hydrogenations and also for enantioselective hydrogen shifts in prochiral, allylic systems. In the hydrogenations mentioned, preference is given to ruthenium, iridium and rhodium complexes, while for isomerizations preference is given to rhodium complexes. These catalysts, i.e. the complexes comprising a metal of group VIII and the phosphorus compounds of the formula (I) are new and are likewise subject-matter of the present invention.
The complexes in question can be prepared in a manner known per se, for example by reacting a compound of the formula (I) in a suitable, inert organic or aqueous solvent with a compound able to donate a metal of group VIII. Examples of suitable, e.g. rhodium-donating, compounds which might be mentioned are organic rhodium complexes with ethylene, propylene and the like, and also with bisolefins, e.g. 1,5-cyclooctadiene, 1,5-hexadiene, bicyclo 2.2.1!hepta-2,5-diene or with further dienes which form readily soluble rhodium complexes.
Preferred rhodium-donating compounds are, for example, di-chloro-bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)dirhodium, di-chloro-bis(norbornadiene)dirhodium, bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium-tetrafluoroborate or bis(cyclooctadiene)rhodium perchlorate. An example of an iridium-donating compound which might be mentioned is di-chloro-bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)diiridium.
Of particular interest are ruthenium complexes with bisphosphines of the general formula (I). Typical examples which might be mentioned but are not a restriction are the ruthenium complexes of the formulae (VII) to (XIII) below.

The bisphosphines of the invention in the form of their complexes with metals of group VIII and, in particular, with ruthenium can be used for asymmetric hydrogenations. Suitable substrates are substituted or unsubstituted α- or β-ketoesters or α- or β-keto-amides, α- or β-amino or α- or β-hydroxy-ketones and acetamidocinnamic acid derivatives.
Also suitable are acrylic acids, in particular 2-arylpropenoic acids such as 2-(6'-methoxy-2'-naphthyl)-propenoic acid, 2-(4-isobutyl)-propenoic acid and 2-(3-benzylphenyl)-propenoic acid and their salts, for example with tertiary amines.
In carrying out such hydrogenations, these complexes can first be prepared and then added to a solution of the substance to be hydrogenated. However, as an alternative, they can also be prepared in situ, e.g. in the presence of a substance to be hydrogenated.
The asymmetric hydrogenation can be carried out in a suitable organic solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions. Solvents of this type which may be mentioned in particular are lower alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, or mixtures of such alcohols with halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, chloroform and the like, or with cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, and the like.
The ratio of metals to bisphosphines of the general formula (I) is advantageously between about 0.5 and about 2 mol, preferably about 1 mol of ruthenium, per mol of bisphosphine ligand. The ratio of metal in the complexes to the substances to be hydrogenated is advantageously between about 0.0005 and 1 mol %, preferably between about 0.005 and 0.6 mol %.
The asymmetric hydrogenation using the complexes of the invention is advantageously carried out at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 100° C., depending on the substrate used. This hydrogenation is also advantageously carried out under pressure, preferably at a pressure of from about 5 to about 200 bar, particularly preferably from about 40 to about 140 bar.
Furthermore, the bisphosphine complexes of the invention can be used as catalyst for enantioselective hydrogen shifts in prochiral allylic systems. They are of particular interest, for example, in connection with the preparation of optically active compounds of the general formula (XV) ##STR8## where R8 is protected hydroxymethyl or a radical of the formula ##STR9## where the broken line can represent an additional bond, and R9 and R10 are identical or different and are lower alkyl (1-7 carbon atoms), starting from compounds of the general formula (XVI) ##STR10## where R8, R9 and R10 are as defined above.
The compounds (XV) or the aldehydes obtained therefrom by hydrolysis, and also the acids and alcohols derived from these aldehydes, are of interest, for example, as intermediates in the synthesis of the side chains of vitamins E and K1.
To carry out the hydrogen shifts mentioned, the phosphorus compounds of the formula (I) can be brought into contact as such with a, for example, rhodium- or iridium-donating compound in a solution of a compound to be treated. Alternatively, the phosphorus compounds of the formula (I) can first be reacted in a suitable solvent with a, for example, rhodium- or iridium-donating compound to give the corresponding catalyst complex, and this can then be added to a solution of a compound to be treated, with the latter method being preferred.
Both the reaction of the phosphorus compounds of the formula (I) with a, for example, rhodium- or iridium-donating compound and the hydrogen shifts mentioned can be carried out in suitable organic solvents which are inert under the reaction conditions. Solvents of this type which may be mentioned in particular are lower alkanols such as methanol or ethanol, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene or toluene, cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, esters such as ethyl acetate, or mixtures thereof, and the like. Furthermore, the complex formations can also be carried out in aqueous medium or in dichloromethane.
The ratio of, for example, rhodium or iridium to the ligands of the formula (I) is advantageously between about 0.05 and about 5 mol, preferably between about 0.5 and about 2 mol, of metal per mol of ligand of the formula (I).
The amount of metal in the complexes containing the ligands of the formula (I), based on the compounds to be treated for the purpose of effecting a hydrogen shift, is preferably between about 0.005 and about 0.5 mol %, in particular between about 0.01 and about 0.2 mol %.
The hydrogen shifts mentioned using metal complexes containing the ligands of the formula (I) can advantageously be carried out in an inert organic solvent and at a temperature from about room temperature to about 130° C. This reaction is preferably carried out at elevated temperature, i.e. depending on the solvent used, either at reflux temperature of the reaction mixture or in a closed vessel under pressure.
